It's #AceWeek all over again! I didn’t prepare anything special this year so I I just write a little about myself again.

It turns out I’m #asexual (#ace) the whole year round, not just during AceWeek. 😃

I’ve now been out and proud as #ace for about 3-4 years now. And I didn’t change my mind. It’s pretty much set.

I’m at a point where I’m pretty much *used* to being openly ace. Like, it feels completely normal to me.

#LGBTQ

I will never understand this weird annoying trend of "modern" UIs to replace checkboxes (which are always clear) with these confusing toggles.

Is it on or off! Is the "on" state to the left, or to the right? Don't know? You have a 50:50 chance to get it right!!1!1

(Yes, I know there is a definite answer to this question. My point is that it's not obvious.)

I publish the bilingual free culture #webcomic 👃👂 “Nose Ears”. It’s about the #absurd things in life.

This is a remix of the drawings of another webcomic and public domain images.

Less communication on social... or trying to chat towards better survival? 

The and health of primates depend on their success in complex social interactions.

People seem to want less communication on social...

Here's a

" causes problems with processing of social , just like in humans.

This reduces the number of social partners with whom primates come into contact. "

from kids.frontiersin.org/articles/

Ah - this might explain why people on social WANT LESS PARTNERS OR COMMUNICATION OR JUST LESS IN GENERAL !

IT SEEMS TO SOLVE THEIR EMOTIONAL TROUBLES but actually doesn't (the trouble still exist). So while more communication has it's troubles STILL in a human circle is does better to do more of it even though emotionally seems counter-intuitive (so like clamming up doesn't help, practise between all of us is needed as the increment... but also coming out of shell feels too risky I know...

Overall not much choice but to be pro-active and see you will be worse off doing less while the world is being hunted financially.

Sticking together in some sense is what I mean.

Our #family and #friends are TOO STUPID if all this time haven't "got it" on so many levels of life. 

Hearing from us or seeing the world... you would have to conclude "Not caring and not emotionally intelligent enough" otherwise they would do / say,... something.

Ignorance allows evil to exist. Not just etc just the day-to-day shows enough about them...

Even the excuse that bad people evolved and have done too many tricks DOESN'T WORK when they do near-nothing.

@wjmaggos I didn't vote for any of them because they are both two sides of the same globalist, zionist coin. Both sides of political spectrum seems to conveniently ignore aspects of their candidates that go against their principles. I just think that left has hit its lowest historical point with Kamala. She is a complete disaster of a politician who was installed without a single democratic vote. But as we previously established you only use democracy as an excuse to push your authoritarianism.

Ursula K. Le Guin fans and admirers: I’ve just been listening to episode 664 of the Coode Street Podcast, in which Julie Phillips, currently writing the authorised biography of Le Guin, talks about Ursula’s life and works and thinking, and how these interrelated in various ways. All sorts of stuff I hadn’t known before. It’s well worth listening to.

" Social media (at least on Mastodon) feels to me like a giant technical conference reception.

I'm surrounded by people with interesting opinions and can get into good conversations about anything, even unrelated things, simply by wandering past someone having an interesting conversation or by asking or stating something to whoever happens to be nearby.

Conference manners: interact freely remembering anyone can hear, don't be rude, and it's always ok to walk away. "
